the 8.9 magnitude monster quake struck japan friday afternoon. millions of survivors are without power, many homeless. highways and suburban streets had literally been split open. it all started early friday morning 15 miles below the ocean surface. the earth's plates shifted one opening up over the other. that led to a 23 foot tsunami. boats and shipping containers tossed around like toys, whole buildings collapsed. this oil refinery exploded and power was cut to the nuclear power plant. experts believe the quake knocked out the power to the primary and backup water pump that cools the plant's uranium core. if there's no water, there's no cooling and that could trigger a release of radioactive steam into the environment. or if the level drops enough the core is exposed and that could cause a meltdown. >> travelers trying to get to japan waited anxiously at san francisco international airport. japan airlines brought an empty plane to san francisco to pick up hundreds of passengers bound for tokyo's airport. one left with almost 300 people on boar

it is saturday morning in japan. the sun is up and the extent of the catastrophe is becoming painfully clear. it's been nearly 24 hours since a powerful earthquake touched off a huge tsunami that swept across japan's east coast. the quake, a magnitude 8.9, was the fifth-largest in modern history. centered off japan's northeast coast, it was felt for 1,300 miles. very early reports say more than 400 people are dead. japan's kyoto news agency says the final number is expected to top 1,000. most of the victims drowned. nearly 1,000 are reported injured, more than 500 are missing. and four million homes and businesses lost power. the first estimate of the damage: $10 billion. that damage includes a nuclear reactor in northeastern japan. radiation levels are soaring and the area is being evacuated. most flights between the u.s. and japan have been canceled, and there were fears the tsunami would pound the u.s., but by the time the waves reached hawaii and the west coast this morning, they had lost most of their punch. pre
